[Distutils] PyPI support for linux_ppc64le

[Alex Grönholm]

The manylinux1 platform only supports x86-64 and x86-32 (i686) 
architectures. A quote from PEP 513:

Because CentOS 5 is only available for x86_64 and i686 architectures, 
these are the only architectures currently supported by the manylinux1 
policy.

If support is to be extended to other architectures, it requires a new 
standard (which has recently been discussed on this ML).
